Haunting never-before-seen Titanic shipwreck footage revealed
The WHOI made the first trip to view the sunken vessel by using a three-person submersible named Alvin, and a newly developed remotely operated vehicle, Jason Jr.To capture the footage, they made 11 dives nearly four kilometres below the ocean surface.“The first thing I saw coming out of the gloom at 30 feet was this wall, this
that rose over 100 and some feet above us,” Robert Ballard, one of the mission’s explorers, told The Associated Press.He said there was no human flesh or bones left, but he saw shoes, including footwear of what appeared to be a mother and a baby that looked like tombstones marking the spot where some of the roughly 1,500 people who perished came to rest on the ocean floor.
On its maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York, it struck an iceberg on April 14, 1912. The boat sank, leaving more than 1,500 people to perish in the North Atlantic.RMS Titanic was built in Belfast, Ireland, by Harland and Wolff Shipbuilders.
